Tiredness

A slowed state where physical and emotional energy both feel depleted.

Tiredness may come from sleep debt, decision fatigue, or emotional drain. That is why the recovery context matters as much as the event itself.

Common signs

  • Small tasks feel heavier
  • Focus gets shorter
  • You want less interaction

How to write it down

  • Separate body fatigue from emotional depletion
  • Note what blocked recovery
  • Write one thing to reduce tomorrow
